These are the same folks that claimed that Alex Pretti "attacked" ICE agents before they murdered him...so you can safely disregard anything they have to say.

Read the article and this is 100% propaganda to make ICE sound like victims of violence that isn't happening.

If that percent is actually true, then those must be very small numbers. 1 attack to 13 attacks is a 1300% increase after all.

We have a “Pretti/Good” reason to fight back.

It's really frustrating reading Lemmy commenters like, "America do something!" Like God damn! The news doesn't want to report on all the work the millions of Americans have been doing to protect our streets because they're paid by billionaires.

We can get those numbers up.

And we know just how credible Trump administration spokesweasels are.

I think I know a simple way to completely stop these assaults.

Encouraging stat, though i'm sure it is massively inflated by classifying things such as yelling at them as "assault."

You know they're trying to make a bigger deal out of a minor difference when they start throwing out percentages instead of actual numbers. It sounds much better to be able to talk about thousands when the actual difference is a dozen. "Up 1300%" likely means that there was 1 last year, and now there have been 14 this year, an increase of 13 incidents.

Also quoting out this increase without any other context presupposes an apples to apples comparison. As in ICE is the same now as it was then, but we clearly got more violent. Not like there were changes that may have happened in the last year with ICE? Maybe the numbers of their personnel exploded this year? Maybe they specifically recruited those who are unqualified for any other form of law enforcement and emphasized white nationalism in their advertisments? Maybe they were pushed through with little to no training? Maybe they have been lied to about their legal authority and/or told that they are immune to punishment for their illegal actions? Maybe they are demonstrably more violent? Maybe they are systematically kidnapping non-criminals, legal residents, citizens, and children? Maybe they are violating the constitution? Maybe they are shooting people in the streets?

1300%, pfft. Quick question, what's the percent increase in arrests of law-abiding legal residents and citizens? In 4th amendment violations? In murders? Show me those numbers, assholes.

I wish that were true! I want to see ICE agents get their asses kicked

From what baseline? Did it go from 1 to 14?

I don’t really trust any statistics put out by this administration, especially from DHS or the Justice Department.

Sounds like rookie numbers to me.

The regime doesn't need to wait for an excuse to escalate when they can just make one up.

more lies.

We understand that lfe is sooooo hard for your armed thugs, Trish. Have some Thoughts and Prayers™.

Booohooo

Get them now before they roll up in MRAPs and 50 cals, Fallujah style.

I'm missing the irony in this article.

Wow, their job sounds really dangerous. They should all quit.

🙂

Ugh, the pro-ICE propaganda reeks. The tone of this article makes me feel like I need a shower.
